The Burrall Blog – Buffalo Again? No, Sir

3/13/10 – 7:30 PM

Have you seen who won the 3A boys state championship in hoops?  No, it wasn’t Buffalo, led by former Dogies assistant coach Paul Prosinski.

It was Torrington.  The Blazers rallied from 7 down in the 3rd quarter to dethrone the defending champs, 42-39.  Given how Torrington looked at regional, I’m not totally shocked, even though the Bison were a very good team.  With all due respect to Casey Esponda, David Greininger and Jeremy Beehler, E.J. Zimmerman was the best player in 3A East boys hoops this season.  Jason McManamen had another great year, and the return of Kyle Nighswonger made a huge difference for the Blazers.

Mick Bohn and I are sorry we left the regional title game when Buffalo led Torrington by 11 points.  The Bison ended up winning by 2.  Torrington rode that into knocking off Worland and Pinedale before rallying for the title over Buffalo.

Unbelievably, new head coach Jon Raciecki had his detractors within Torrington this season.  They can’t possibly complain now that Torrington has its first boys championship since 1987.

By the way, I really missed being at state basketball.  Maybe we’ll be back next year.

OK, back to watching college hoops….What a great time of the year for us basketball fans!

The Burrall Blog – Frustration, Then Class

2/20/10 – 8:16 PM

These are not easy times for the Newcastle Dogie boys basketball team.  With two games to go before the 3A East Regional Tournament, they’ve won only once in conference.  The latest loss came today at home to Rawlins, 58-43, after Newcastle had a 13-point lead in the first half.

Rawlins blitzed the Dogies in the second half.  Newcastle was frustrated, feeling the calls weren’t going their way.  Then, it boiled over.  First, there was one technical foul, then another, then another.

Head Coach Allen Von Eye had one of those three.  After the game, was he stewing?  Was he angry?  No.  He came on our air and apologized.  He apologized on behalf of himself and his team, saying these actions weren’t representative of him or them.

Self-accountability seems to be a problem with a lot of people these days.  But it isn’t an issue with the Newcastle Dogies.  They’re not having a good year, but they’re really good people to be around.  That starts with a classy head coach.

We’re lucky to have Allen Von Eye in our community, no matter what the win-loss record may be.

The Burrall Blog – Here We Go With Hoops!

12/3/09 – 10:42 PM

On the eve of the new season for Newcastle Dogie and Lady Dogie basketball, it’s safe to say that the expectations are……..well, let’s just call them realistic.

Certainly, those expectations aren’t for Allen Von Eye’s Dogies what they were at this time last season.  This year’s team will mostly be gaining its first significant varsity experience, except for Jeremy Beehler and Taylor Tobar, who won’t be back until after the New Year as he recovers from that serious ankle injury he had during football season.  Still, Coach Von Eye is pleased with his team’s progress, and is particularly upbeat about post player Brice Birkley, who starts right away, despite only a couple of varsity appearances at the end of last season.  His backup is Ryan Jones, and Von Eye says Ryan has also progressed well.

Don’t look for 9 or 10 players to play consistenly this season, as was the case some of last season.  The rotation will probably be only about 7-deep.  There will likely be some mistakes from varsity inexperience early on, but this should be an interesting team to follow.

So should be the Lady Dogies.  They have a new, young and enthusiatic head coach in Tyler Bartlett.  He wants to use everyone he has on varsity every game, because Bartlett wants his team to run and be physical.  Important for this team will be avoiding injuries.  You may recall that Megan Gordon and Marina Podio both missed a lot of time last season, and they will both be counted on heavily.  So will Kaitlyn Livingston, who beat everyone – including the guys – at the 3-point shooting contest at “Meet the Dogies” recently.

The journey for both teams begins this weekend with the 3A East/West Challenge.  The Dogies will be in Cody, with the Lady Dogies in Buffalo.  We’ll bring you the Dogie action from scenic Cody on KASL and here on kaslradio.com.  Check the play-by-play schedule and please tune in on the radio or online.  We don’t quite know what this season will bring, but Mick Bohn and I will have a blast finding out.

The Burrall Blog – Weekend In Laramie

11/16/09 – 9:23 AM

What an honor it was for me to describe three state championship football games (2A, 3A, 4A) for rtcom.tv.  All five of the webcasts should be archived there by the middle of this week.

One of the games I called was Thermopolis’ 22-20 win over Glenrock for the 2A title.  Glenrock is a great team and worked very hard to have a chance at back-to-back championships, but sometimes teams most people don’t expect to win are completely sure themselves that they will.  That was the case with the Thermopolis Bobcats.  Their defense stopped the Herders immediately on 4th down.  Their offense didn’t let falling snow or accumulated snow bother them.  And the Bobcat offense showed something it hadn’t shown much of this season: quarterback Mitch Syverson running the ball.  He did for 155 yards and two touchdowns.  It was a great plan by Mitch’s dad, head coach Chuck Syverson.  But, get this:  Mitch, as it turns out, had not run the ball much until this past Saturday because he played all season with a stress fracture in his leg.  He suffered it during last basketball season when he was still in Spearfish.  Anyway, it was a well-deserved win for Thermopolis, who has many of their important players, including Syverson, back in 2010.

By the way, I had never broadcast any football games during snow before, so that was fun, too.

While in Laramie, I attended the Wyoming Cowboy basketball season opener against South Dakota State, who overwhelmed the Cowboys, 77-61.  And believe me, the game wasn’t that close.  The Cowboys’ defense was terrible, allowing several uncontested baskets to the Jackrabbits quickly after their own made baskets.  And SDSU made 11 three-pointers, only a few of which were even moderately contested.  There’s a lot of work ahead for this team.  They are inexperienced and are in need of the kind of leadership Brandon Ewing had given them over the last couple of years.

And as I came home Saturday night, I listened to Cowboy Football’s incredible comeback win at San Diego State, 30-27.  24 unanswered points in the 4th quarter led the Cowboys back.  After how the offense had been performing over the previous three weeks, and the struggle the defense was having, this came out of nowhere.  Now, this team feels it can do anything.  This probably doesn’t give them any more of a chance to beat TCU, a national championship contender, this Saturday, but a victory over Colorado State on the day after Thanksgiving would likely put the Cowboys in a bowl game for the first time in five years.  That would be quite an achievement for a team with a first-year head coach and whose program was, frankly, going nowhere at this time last year.
